Automate unlocking the keyring after login #87

After booting and Biopass authenticating the user, the Gnome keyring screen will appear.

As per this Howdy comment (boltgolt/howdy#438 (comment)), this can apparently be integrated into the authorization process, following these instructions: https://gist.github.com/kizzard/166470fefe8fa64d2aa65e0235115318. Note I have not tested the steps myself.

It would be awesome for Biopass to integrate the required steps as part of the setup process.

Having Biopass authenticate the user and then having to manually enter the password twice for unlocking keyrings is counter-productive (1 password input without Biopass, vs. 2 password inputs with Biopass).

Alternatively, it would be good to have the option to disable Biopass authentication right after boot, requiring the user having unlocked the session and keyring before authenticating users with a locked keyring. I.e. enable Biopass only for unlock and sudo, but not for initial login.
